Anni [7]4 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question it appears that (n-1) is in the numerator's place, if it is so, then let us solve it.

a_n =  - 2 +  \frac{3}{2}(n - 1)   \\ \\  \therefore \: a_{21} =  - 2 +  \frac{3}{2}  (21 - 1) \\  \\   \therefore \: a_{21} =  - 2 +  \frac{3}{2 }   \times \: 20\\  \\ \therefore \: a_{21} =  - 2 + 3 \times \: 10  \\  \\ \therefore \: a_{21} =  { -2  + 30}   \\  \\ \therefore \: a_{21} =  28   \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: a_{21} =   28}  } \\  \\

What is the measure of the base in the triangle below?
lesantik [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

AC+CB+BA=180

2x+23+3x-8+4x+1=180

9x+16=180

9x=180-16

9x=164

x=164/9

x=18.2

Issac tosses a quarter off of a bridge, creating the shape of a parabola. The parabola can be represented by the equation h=-16t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the equation representing the parabola is expressed as

h = -16t² - 4t + 20

c) to determine the height after 25 seconds, we would substitute 25 for t into the given equation. It becomes

h = -16(25)² - 4(25) + 20

h = - 10000 - 100 + 20

h = - 10080

d) when the coin lands on the ground, the height would be 0. Therefore,

-16t² - 4t + 20 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

- 4t² - t + 5 = 0

- 4t² - 5t + 4t + 5 = 0

- t(4t + 5) + 1(4t + 5) = 0

- t + 1 = 0 or 4t + 5 = 0

t = 1 or t = - 5/4

Since t cannot be negative, then t = 1 second

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (5,6) and (-1,-6).
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The midpoint is (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(5+-1)/2 =4/2 =2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(6+-6)/2 =0/2 =0

The midpoint is (2,0)

If x^2-x-6 and x^2+3x-18 hacpve a common factor (x-a) then find the value of a.​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both expressions

x² - x - 6

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 3 and + 2 , since

- 3 × 2 = - 6 and - 3 + 2 = - 1 , thus

x² - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)

-----------------------------------

x² + 3x - 18

consider factors of constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 3)

The factors are + 6 and - 3 , since

6 × - 3 = - 18 and 6 - 3 = + 3 , thus

x² + 3x - 18 = (x + 6)(x - 3)

Both expressions have a common factor of (x - 3)

Compare with (x - a ), then a = 3
